Exegesis
The double negation ou me apolese {οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσῃ | ou mḕ apolésē} with the aorist subjunctive provides an emphatic assurance that the subject “will certainly not lose” the reward, and the object phrase ton misthon autou {τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ | tòn misthòn autoû} highlights that even the smallest act done because of Christ’s Name is noted and recompensed. The syntax thus moves from an indefinite, inclusive condition to a strong, unqualified promise.
In context — Mark 9:41
For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in the Name, because you are Christ’s , truly I say to you, he will never lose his reward .
